A radioactive element decays by `beta-`emission. A detector racords `n`-beta particles in `2` sec and in next `2` sec it records `0.65n`-beta particles. Find mean life.
A. 4 s
B. 2 s
C. `(2)/((In 2))s`
D. 2 (In 2)s
Correct Answer - C
`lamda=(lamda_(1)+lamda_(2))=(1)/(1620)+(1)/(520)=2.54xx10^(-3)yr^(-1)`
`therefore" " t_(1//2)=(1n(2))/(lamda)=272.8 yr`
(1/4) th of the material remainsintact after 2 half-lives.
Correct Answer - C
We have, `lamda_(B)N_(B)=lamda_(A)N_(A)`
`therefore" "N_(B)=(lamda_(A))/(lamda_(B)).N_(A)`
The give time is equivalent to two half-lives of A. Hence,
`N_(A)=(N_(0))/(4)" "(thereforeN=N_(0)((1)/(2))^(2)`
`N_(B)=(lamda_(A))/(lamda_(B))((N_(0))/(4))`
Correct Answer - C
Given in 1st two seconds `100beta` particles and in next two seconds `50beta` particles are emitted.
`:.T_(1//2)=2s`
Hence, mean life, `T=(t_(1//2))/(0.693)=(2)/(0.693)`
Correct Answer - A
Due to emission os `3alpha` particles, the mass number is reduced by 12 while atomic number is decresed by 6. Due to emission of `beta` particle the...
The process for negative beta decay is given by equation
`._(19)^(40)K_(21) rarr ._(20)^(40)Ca_(20) +e^(-) + barv`
and the Q value is found from equation using atomic masses :
`Q_(beta) [m(.^(40)K)...
To determine the Q value for this decay, we first need to find the mass of the product nucleus `.^(12)C` in its excited state. In the ground state, `.^(12)C` has...
